TemplateTokens offers the user the ability to manage tokens, also known as variables, that can be used inside any page or layout within OctoberCMS. The main focus of this plug-in is to offer the user an easy to manage interface for static links and repeatable pieces of text.

Features:

  • easily add, change or remove tokens by using the management page
  • tokens are defined based on scopes, giving you the ability to use the same token name for page, layout and even application scopes
  • tokens are available using the same Twig dot notation used in OctoberCMS

Installation

Either download the plug-in from the OctoberCMS market or use the Github repository to download the code and install it into your application.

*Note: If you are using the Github repo, please download or unpack the source into a folder called 'koderhut/templatetokens' inside your 'plugins/' folder of your installation. After unpacking/downloading run the following command from the root folder of your installation:

$ php artisan plugin:refresh KoderHut:TemplateTokens

This will run the installation scripts and create the necessary database tables.

Configuration

To manage the tokens access the Settings > KoderHut > TemplateTokens configuration page.

Using this page you can add a new token by selecting the 'Add New Token' button and filling in all the fields in the pop-up form.

To edit a token simply click/tap on it in the tokens list and a pop-up will be displayed with the information already stored. Change the fields you need and select Save.

To remove one or more tokens simply check the check-box next to the token name and click/tap the 'Remove Token(s)' button'

Usage

You can access the tokens inside each scope using the 'tk' namespace, like :

Global scope:  {{ this.tk.global_scope_var }}
Page scope:    {{ this.page.tk.page_scope_var }}
Layout scope:  {{ this.layout.tk.layout_scope_var }}

    Man, you should set this to use CMS Category instead of create another setting category.

    Thanks for the input, Wilson! If you can give me a more descriptive use case I will make sure to review it and update the code as needed.
